overhead watering is not a problem. it is soil splashing upon the leaves that transmits viruses from the soil to the plant. if you mulch heavily not only will you avoid this but you will not have to water nearly as much.
Amy, Thank You for the great intel. R U related to the great Family of Timmermans in the cattle business? Also, my peppers (yellow banana variety) have a brown/rust colored problem on the bottom 1/3 of the fruit. ???? from Gary in Boise, Id. (Formerly w/ Purina Mills).
Hi. Can you help me with a slightly dicfferent pepper problem. I have bell peppers, and a good proportion of newly forming buds are YELLOW in colour, and fall off the plant with the slightest touch. When I slice the tiny bud open, the flesh inside is considerably moist. About half of the peppers look perfectly healthy, but half surviving isn't good enough I don't think. Please help me understand what is going wrong!! Thanks, Nathanael
Remove the affected leaves, and then spray a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide, 8-12 tablespoons per 1 gal of water. The next day spray with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of potassium bicarbonate mixed into 1 gal of water....You could use baking soda and many do, but the salt (sodium) can burn your plant. Spray the leaves top and underneath, as well as the stem...You may have to repeat the treatments weekly if you have an environment that tends to produce spots and/or fungal issues....
It's probably a nutritional imbalance, along side a possible fungal/bacterial infection. You're plants need calcium (curling) and phosphorus (discoloration). Prune every leaf or plant that shows signs of leaf spot then Fertilize with masterblend mixture, and spray a mixture of copper fungicide, neem oil and sulfur. That's what I use currently.
You keep explaining about disease but you never mention what chemical to treat the problem..

Bells:
What's the oily brown stuff that excretes from the buds and joints of the plants stems when blooming starts?
It's actually very messy stuff.
Good
you should have way more likes
Would soaking the seeds for an hr in vinegar help before you plant?
What about a purple brown leaf?
so is there a cure for it?
I was wondering the same thing, still edible? Most important tip, how to cure?
mulch your plants so soil does not slash onto the leaves. it also reduces the need for watering.
Remove the affected leaves, and then spray a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide, 8-12 tablespoons per 1 gal of water. The next day spray with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of potassium bicarbonate mixed into 1 gal of water....You could use baking soda and many do, but the salt (sodium) can burn your plant.

Do you use a spray? Do you have to treat soil once the plant is pulled? Will eating fruit or vegetables from this plant cause harm?
I have a few leaves turning brown an rest are curling up a little any idea why? Under watering or over?

I am glad to hear that the condition can be treated
